Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

Jiang Ran was hit by the last claw attack. Although he had two shadow clones to help block the damage, he still lost more than 1800 points of vitality in an instant, taking away half of his life.

If Jiang Ran hadn't been able to think up a quick idea to use the "Shadow Behind", or if the Frost Wolf had hidden a melee trump card, the outcome of this battle would have been reversed.

·

In the cold cave, Jiang Ran dismembered the body of the Frost Giant Wolf while warming himself by the fire.

Since he had to run away, Jiang Ran couldn't carry too many things with him. He could only put the Frost Wolf's fourth-level magic core and a pair of eyeballs into his bag.

The preciousness of the fourth-level magic core goes without saying, but what needs to be mentioned is the eyes of the Frost Giant Wolf.

After the Frost Wolf died, its eyes still emitted a dark blue fluorescence. Jiang Ran's intuition told him that this must be a precious material, so he carefully peeled it off and put it away.

What surprised Jiang Ran was that the pair of eyeballs froze immediately after leaving the body of the Frost Wolf. It seemed that there was indeed a special mechanism involved.

As for the remaining body of the Frost Giant Wolf, Jiang Ran set it on fire, which was also a way to give it a cremation destination so that it would not rot and stink in this deserted cave.

·

By the time Jiang Ran finished the cleanup work, the ice on the door of the treasure house had melted.

He walked forward, but instead of pushing the door open directly, he summoned a shadow clone from a distance, letting the shadow clone push the door open and go in to explore the way.

After the door was pushed open, Jiang Ran saw a large rectangular warehouse.

The warehouse has a ceiling height of about five meters and a width of five meters as well. The length is hard to judge because the only lighting inside the warehouse is some luminous magic stones. The dim environment makes the end of the warehouse look almost pitch black.

Jiang Ran could see that various types of equipment were displayed on both sides of the warehouse. It couldn't be said to be neatly arranged, but rather messy.

This rough storage method makes people sigh that it is worthy of being the goblin's treasure house.

The shadow clone stayed in the treasure house until the duration ended and then turned into a black shadow and disappeared. During this period, nothing abnormal occurred.

Jiang Ran originally wanted to summon another shadow clone to take out two pieces of equipment at random, but he gave up the idea after seeing that there was a slightly glowing magic circle under each piece of equipment.

(It seems like the type that would trigger an alarm if taken away.)

After discovering the anti-theft mechanism, Jiang Ran actually relaxed a little.

In this case, he is not afraid of anti-theft mechanisms, but is afraid that he will not be able to discover it.

So, Jiang Ran inserted an arrow at the door of the treasure house to leave a shadow that could be used for escape, and then held his breath and walked into the treasure house.

·

When entering the treasure house, the most tense part is the three seconds. If nothing happens after three seconds, it can basically be considered safe.

Jiang Ran used his identification ability to look at each piece of equipment until he had looked through all the equipment in the treasure house.

There are a total of eighty-four pieces of equipment in the entire treasure house. Even if there is no anti-theft mechanism, Jiang Ran cannot take them all away.

At this time, Jiang Ran was very envious of those "simple" difficulty stories about another world, because the most basic and common "extra-dimensional storage space" was a treasure that only existed in fantasy in this impossible difficulty Prison Star world.

In addition, due to the existence of the anti-theft mechanism, Jiang Ran must evacuate immediately after taking the equipment. This means that he can only try to choose some lightweight equipment that can be worn directly on the body.

(What should I take?)

While thinking, Jiang Ran came to the deepest part of the warehouse. Here, there was a "treasure" that he could not take away.

·

Next to the innermost wall of the treasure house, there is a pool with an area similar to that of a water tank.

The water in the pool is black and looks a bit scary, but Jiang Ran found out through his identification ability that this is actually a precious facility called the "Pool of Evolution".

According to the identification information, as long as you throw the equipment (excluding divine weapons) into this pool and wait for a while, you can get the evolved version of the equipment... and this evolution pool does not have any anti-theft measures.

Even so, Jiang Ran didn't have the ability to take the Evolution Pool away, and the identification information also stated that the Evolution Pool only had one last use left.

Jiang Ran thought for a long time, then put the "Black Sword Flame Dragon Horse" into the Evolution Pool.

He decided to judge what kind of equipment he should take from the treasure house based on the evolution of the Black Sword Flame Dragon Colt.

·

The pitch-black sword sank into the black water, and then there was no sound.

·

Jiang Ran waited silently on the side for five minutes. During this period, the stupid loli would pop up from time to time to insult Jiang Ran and scare him by saying that the Black Sword Flame Dragon Colt must have been swallowed and that he had suffered a great loss.

Fortunately, in the sixth minute, a gorgeously shaped long sword emerged from the black water, which finally made the stupid loli shut up.

Then, the long sword floated in front of Jiang Ran, as if waiting for Jiang Ran to pick it up.

Jiang Ran was not in a hurry to accept the newly evolved sword, but instead examined it carefully first.

This long sword has a unique double-bladed structure, and the sword body emits a gloomy blue light. The cross hilt is decorated with a large number of feather-shaped orchid crystals, and there is even a purple crown decoration at the end of the hilt as a finishing touch.

Jiang Ran's first feeling after seeing it was: It's over? It seems to have evolved into a flashy weapon.

It is no exaggeration to say that Jiang Ran felt that this sword would break after a few strikes, and it might be more suitable to be used as a decorative sword for the nobles.

However, after using his identification ability to look at the information about the sword, Jiang Ran immediately knew that he shouldn't "judge a sword by its appearance."

This gorgeous long sword is worthy of being the evolutionary successor of the Black Sword Flame Dragon Horse!

7.37 - Speed

After the birth of the new longsword, the black water in the pool of evolution quietly dried up.

This long sword, emitting a faint blue glow, seemed to have condensed all the essence of the Pool of Evolution.

Jiang Ran took the sword and apologized for judging it by its appearance.

It is no exaggeration to say that the evolved Black Sword Flame Dragon Colt has made a qualitative leap, and can even be said to be another sword.

After evolving, the Black Sword Flame Dragon Horse has a new name, which is "Yanma Knight Sword Lanzel".

The Yama Knight Sword not only perfectly inherits the capabilities of the Black Sword Flame Dragon Horse, but also brings the level of firepower output to a new level.

Although the Yama Knight Sword places higher demands on Jiang Ran's magic level, it is fully matched with its terrifying attack ability.

With the Yama Knight Sword, most of the weapons in the treasure house became pale in comparison. Even if there were some good ones, they were not in line with Jiang Ran's fighting style.

For example, there is a weapon called the "Mountain Collapsing Black Steel Hammer", which has a rigid body skill that reduces 90% of physical damage received within seconds. It is very powerful, but Jiang Ran is not the type of person who rushes forward with a hammer to fight head-on, so even if he gets it, it will be useless.

·

Thanks to the confidence that the Yama Knight Sword gave Jiang Ran in terms of attack power, his next step in choosing equipment was basically finalized:

What Jiang Ran wanted was equipment that could be worn easily and had special functions or was auxiliary.

With this idea in mind, he looked at the 84 pieces of equipment in the treasure house again, and finally set his sights on a necklace placed deep in the treasure house.

The necklace is called "Dragon Eye Crystal Necklace - Goblin's Greed". It has a very simple design, with only a red dragon eye crystal strung together by a thin gold chain, but it exudes an incredible magical charm.

Moreover, unlike other equipment, this necklace was obviously carefully arranged. It was placed in a neater place than other equipment and was also separated from other equipment by a certain distance.

Corresponding to this special treatment is the equipment effect of the Dragon Eye Crystal Necklace. Putting aside other things, there are three skills alone, and each skill is the best of the best.

━━━━━━━━━━

Dragon Eye Crystal Necklace - Goblin's Greed

Skill 1: "Goblin's Special Deal"

Skill Effect: Select any skill of any living creature (you need to know the exact skill name), pay triple the magic power, and instantly reset its cooldown to zero; the skill cooldown is 24 hours, and this skill cannot be applied to equipment skills;

Skill 2: "Goblin's Secret Vault"

Skill Effect: The wearer can store magic power in the necklace, up to a maximum of 2 magic power. However, when withdrawing magic power, it can only be withdrawn all at once. The magic power that cannot be absorbed will disappear, and the withdrawn magic power can only be returned to the wearer. There is no cooldown for storing magic power, but there is a 24-hour cooldown for withdrawing magic power.

Skill 3: "Goblin's Absolute Loyalty"

Skill Effect: When the wearer receives fatal damage, the necklace will bear the damage on their behalf. Once this skill effect is triggered, the necklace will be immediately destroyed and cannot be repaired in any way.

━━━━━━━━━━

Jiang Ran no longer needs to worry about it. This dragon pupil crystal necklace is his best choice.

After confirming the target to be stolen, the next step is to formulate an escape plan.

Jiang Ran drank two bottles of powerful magic potion (after taking it, 30 points of magic power are restored per second, and 10 points of vitality are lost per second, which lasts for 10 seconds. The potion is ineffective when the vitality is insufficient) to make the remaining magic power situation more sufficient. Then he confirmed the key locations of the escape route several times, and then began the treasure stealing operation.

In order to maximize the benefits of this operation, Jiang Ran summoned two shadow clones in succession and asked them to stand next to the other two pieces of equipment.

These two pieces of equipment are also what Jiang Ran wants, but their priority is lower than the Dragon Eye Crystal Necklace.

Then, after Jiang Ran counted down three times, the three of them took the equipment from the magic circle almost at the same time, and then rushed towards the treasure house door at a rapid speed!

At the moment the three pieces of equipment were taken away, all the magic circles in the treasure house were activated at the same time, and all the remaining equipment that had not been taken away were protected by the small barriers generated by the magic circles.

At the same time, a deep and loud horn sounded in the treasure house and spread along the caves and secret passages to the goblin castle.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Ran and his two shadow clones arrived at the door of the treasure house. At this moment, a magic barrier suddenly opened at the door, blocking Jiang Ran and his friends' way.

However, this level of obstruction was still within Jiang Ran's expectations. Upon seeing this, the two shadow clones immediately threw the equipment in their hands to Jiang Ran according to the previous instructions. After Jiang Ran took the equipment, he immediately used the "Shadow Escape Step" to pass through the magic barrier of the gate and came to the shadow of the arrow he had previously inserted into the ground.

Although he escaped from the treasure house, Jiang Ran did not dare to breathe and immediately sprinted towards the secret passage. At this time, a huge magic circle lit up on the entire floor of the cave, and then countless goblin skeleton soldiers crawled out of the magic circle and rushed towards Jiang Ran!

Jiang Ran saw through it at a glance and realized that these goblin skeleton soldiers were just minions that were there to delay his escape. If he dealt with them one by one, he would definitely be entangled by their numbers.

So, Jiang Ran raised the Yama Knight Sword Lanzel without hesitation. Now is the time for it to show its new strength!

(Please help me clear a path, Yanqi Jixue!)

The Yama Knight's sword ignited with blue flames, and then, along the direction of the sword, the blue flames roared out and transformed into several blue flame war horses in the air, neighing and burning all obstacles in the way!

Jiang Ran continued to move forward following the blue flame war horses. The skeleton soldiers chased him like a tide, but in terms of speed, the gap between them and Jiang Ran was huge.

Now Jiang Ran has successfully broken through the encirclement. As long as he doesn't make any mistakes, the skeletons will not be able to catch up with him.

Then, Jiang Ran came to the entrance of the secret passage. As expected, the entrance to the secret passage was also blocked by a magic barrier.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Ran immediately lit up a glowing magic stone and used the light source to project his shadow into the secret passage. He then used the skill "Shadow Escape Step" to successfully pass through the magic barrier. He also used the magic barrier in turn to block the skeleton soldiers who were about to catch up with him outside the secret passage!

(It’s not time to relax yet!)

Jiang Ran took a few breaths and then immediately started running again.

The alarm horn in the treasure house was still blaring, and the sound had undoubtedly spread throughout the Goblin Castle on the ground.

By the time Jiang Ran rushes out of the secret passage, there will probably be a large number of goblin soldiers waiting for him at the exit!

7.38 - Escaped but Not Yet Reborn (Part )

Jiang Ran was still naive.

He thought the goblin soldiers would block him at the entrance of the secret passage, but the reality was that since the entrance to the secret passage was open (Jiang Ran didn't know how to close it at the time), the goblin soldiers had already rushed into the secret passage to catch the invader.

When Jiang Ran heard the dense footsteps coming from the front, he had no way to retreat.

Although it is taboo to use skills related to fire and explosion in a small, confined space, he can't care less now.

(Help me one more time, Enma Knight Sword!)

(Yanqi's body is swift!)

The shining blue flames instantly illuminated the secret passage, and the galloping blue flame horse galloped forward in the secret passage, and then a large number of screams came from not far away.

According to the skill description of "Flame Qi Jiqu", its skill damage can reach up to "equipper's wisdom x5 + 1000" points. If Jiang Ran's attribute data is substituted in, it will be 4895 points.

However, even without deducting the enemy's resistance reduction, this damage value is still not enough to kill a third-level monster instantly. The absence of kill confirmation text in Jiang Ran's field of vision is the best proof of this.

So, after the ten-second cooldown, Jiang Ran released "Flame Swift Body" again. This time, text messages such as "Goblin Elite Spearman" and "Goblin Elite Sword and Shield Warrior" were killed popped up one after another, giving Jiang Ran the confidence to continue moving forward quickly.

However, there will definitely be a price to pay for acting recklessly.

After running for only a few steps, Jiang Ran clearly felt that he was having difficulty breathing. In addition, after being burned by the high-temperature flames, the structure of the secret passage was also somewhat unstable.
